Looks like we've got our two victims, er fighters all
ready for the first forum fight. How do you guys think it's looking?
Martuk
style="color: rgb(51, 102, 255);">: Khal and
Coen are new to the forum fight arena, but both are capable posters so
this should be a good battle.
JoBildo
style="color: rgb(51, 255, 51);">: Well,
they're both ridiculously ugly... so I'm hoping to not spend too much
time looking at them. You guys just tell me how it goes.
style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">Khalathwyr
style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">: Why play
such a violent game? Violence in lore
should not preclude whole portions of the gaming populace simply
because they choose, while playing this game, to not take part in one
game play feature 100% of the time. That makes about as much sense as
forcing everyone to have to craft every 3 minutes just because the
feature is in the game.
Coenheart:

So you think that because you are playing this game on a PvP server you
are going to be forced into PvP 100% of the time, or every 3 minutes
for that matter? The amount of time you believe you are
going to be forced into combat with another player is a wee bit off, or
in other words, not even close.
Khalathwyr:
style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">I
too have played on a PvP server a few times and each time I rolled a
new character on those different servers in different games I
was jumped when either I first got into the game or first got within
eyesight of town. You miss the point. The point, is it's a game. Games
are meant to be played for fun. Not just the PvPer's fun. For
everyone's fun.
Coenheart
style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">:
So you have a few bad experiences and you refuse to ever try something
again. That doesn’t sound very productive, but whatever
tickles your
pickle man.
Khalathwyr
style="color: rgb(255, 255, 0);">:
That "So you had a few bad experiences.." line is too
clichéd.
Coenheart
style="color: rgb(255, 153, 0);">:
Breathing air is a cliché as well, but it works.
Machail:
Khalathwyr declared as winner. I think if the fight continued longer we
may have seen a shift, as Coen finished quite strongly.
Martuk:
Indeed. Khal argued his side well. It just looks like the cards fell on
Coens side this day.
Machail:
Reverse that. Then frame it.
Martuk:
Oh, doh!
